How to Set Up Pop-up Camps

Steps on to Set up Pop-up Camps
Find a Possible Camp Location Pay the Set Up Price

Find a Possible Camp Location

You must first find a possible Pop-up Camp location. These locations are marked on the map by a wooden sign with a tent on it, and are usually located at the edges of the map.

Once you locate a Pop-up Camp location, set a waypoint on it and make your way their on your Seikret.

All Pop-Up Camp Locations

Pop-up Camp Locations Have Butterflies Near Them

You will know that you have arrived in the correct location when you find a group of butterflies flying around the area. Your Camping Kit item will also light up when near a Pop-up Camp location.

Pay the Set Up Price

Once you arrive at a Pop-up Camp location, equip your Camping Kit item and use it. You will then see a prompt asking you to pay Guild Points to set the camp up. Pay the cost and watch as two Palicos build your campsite for you.

It's important to remember that you can only set up a maximum of 5 Pop-up Camps in each locale. You will need to demolish previously built Pop-up Camps if you want to build more.

The Set-Up Price Varies Based on Camp Safety

The price you need to pay to build a Pop-Up Camp will vary based on the camp location's safety. Safe Camps cost 25 Guild Points, Insecure Camps cost 50 Guild Points, and Dangerous Camps cost 75 Guild Points

Pop-up Camps Can Get Destroyed

Since Pop-up Camps are located in the wild, it is possible for monsters to destroy them. Determine your camp's safety level if they are Safe or out of harm's way, Insecure for some possibility of being destroyed, or Dangerous which is requires relocation to avoid getting destroyed.

Decide to keep or remove it after knowing which safety level applies to your camp.

How to Repair Destroyed Pop-up Camps

Pay The Needed Guild Points

If you want to quickly repair a destroyed Pop-up Camp, you can pay Guild Points to the Pop-up Camp Meowster or at the Support Desk to repair it. The repair cost is the same as the set-up cost. After paying the cost, two Palicos will immediately repair the Pop-up Camp for you.

How to Farm Guild Points

You Can Also Wait For the Repair

If you don't have the Guild Points to repair a Pop-up Camp, or you want to save up, you can instead wait for the Pop-up Camp to be automatically repaired after a while. This repair is free, but does make the camp unusable for the time being.

Pop-Up Camp Details

Base Camps in the Open Area

Pop-up Camps contain all of the features that the Base Camp tent has. This includes refilling items, changing your equipment, cooking meals, and more.

You can also fast travel to them, letting hunters traverse the map easily. Take note that monsters can also destroy them, so make sure that it's built out of harm's way!

How to Fast Travel

Build Up to Five Pop-Up Camps

While there are several locations to set up pop-up camps, hunters can only have 5 pop-up camps set up!

Take note that monsters can destroy pop-up camps depending on the Safety Level of an area.

Can Be Customized

Hunters can decorate and customize Pop-Up Camps too. Several customization settings are available such as colors and patterns of the camp, several chair types, and even background music that plays when you arrive on that specific camp!

Manage Pop-Up Camps in Base Camp

Hunters can manage pop-up camps from all locales via the Support Desk Palico, Hazel.

By talking to her, hunters can quickly fix or remove camps to free up Camp Slots, check all camps from other locales, and know the safety level per locale to gauge which camp is prone to being destroyed by monsters.
